2022 #VWEDU: A professional learning community (PLC) in the metaverse. The future of education is online--in the metaverse.


A professional learning community (PLC) in the metaverse. 
The future of education is online
--in the metaverse.
In fact, a lot of the present is online and some is in the metaverse.

Possibilities

***************************************

Online means

  • No travel time. No travel cost.
  • Small carbon footprint.
  • Contacts selected for interests, not neighborhood.  Focused inquiry
  • Educators have very focused interests.
  • It may be hard to find a local community of such specific interests. 
  • Teachers teaching 3rd grade reading, for example, are widely distributed. 
  • But are abundant on the internet: 3rd grade reading.
  • And can get together: 3rd grade reading community.
  • Professional learning communities in education.

Why the metaverse?

  • PLC's have already developed in the metaverse.
  • Professional learning communities metaverse.
  • A little experience and it is much like face to face.
  • We can build an environment that suits our topic.
  • We have whiteboards, slideshows, and videos.
  • We can make videos as needed.
  • We can even use webcams to bring in talking heads if we want.

  1. Inquiry is the unsung concept that can help you intersect and merge with others. When you inquire, you find your likeness and differences. Then you can figure out if your direction of travel can merge or at least run parallel to each other.
